Hale Reyes is your typical Pastor's Kid. He is known for being good, obedient and a paragon of christian culture. At the young age of 20 years old he is already in his second year of seminary and has a good christian girl waiting for him at home. Everything is going according to plan until he begins to think about marriage. Every night when he goes to be he dreams of the same girl, and she's not the one waiting for him at home. Who is she? Even Hale doesn't know, but he is willing to do anything to forget her and move on, until she shows up in the real world, and she's anything but christian.  

A Modern take on the the Biblical book of Hosea, The Great Betrothal takes a look at love, marriage and Church culture according to the scriptures. "And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord." Hosea 2:19-20

Dani has loved Josh since high school. It started out as a crush, but a senior trip changed their lives forever. Suddenly, they were making a movie and swept into the glamorous but dark life of the rich and famous. They fell into a world where sin and self-rule and nothing is as it seems. When Dani becomes pregnant, Josh's heartfelt proposal shocks her. Desperate, Dani wants to accept but she's afraid he only asked because he's a new believer and trying to please Jesus. She turned him down, had her child, and signed away her parental rights. After four years of regret, Dani goes home to fix her mistakes but it's too late. Josh is engaged to another woman and she no longer fits into their lives. As she tries to mend her relationship with her son, Dani also grows closer to the Lord. Is it God's will for Dani to watch Josh marry another woman and have her raise Dani's son? Dani and Josh are both praying and determined to please the Lord, but neither of them is sure of His plan. They will need faith and the Lord's unfailing love to see them through. This is a STANDALONE STORY, but there are characters from With All Your Heart & Leaving the 99. Bible quotes are from the NIV version. Upates MWF

Thomas Miller hasn't had great luck with women. His first wife left him while pregnant with another man's babies, and his second was killed in a tragic car accident. Since then, afraid of having his heart broken, he has let himself be used as a professional husband in short marriages of convenience to women who need insurance and a place to stay for a bit. But now that he's older he wants to try for a real relationship again. Is it too late for love? He just needs to take on one more temporary marriage and then he's hanging up his rings until the real things comes along. Avery Simmons is the sole survivor from a deadly crash that killed her parents and twin brother. Broken physically and in spirit, she marries Thomas as a last resort until she can get back on her feet again. Thomas and Avery don't have a regular relationship, they're married before they know much of anything about each other. But in marrying Avery, Thomas gets his whole flipped on its head when all is revealed. But is it for good or bad? As always, if you like this, check out the other works I have, you might like those too. Stranger things have happened! And my usual disclaimer, if you're one of my poor relatives on Wattpad, and you're feeling weird reading Mature content that might have been written by me, then ummm... skip this one.

Arranged Marriage Evelina Maddison Camilli is an aspiring American fashion designer. Her goal is to prove to her parents that fashion design could be as powerful as leading an empire. The only way to do that is by opening a shop without her parents' help. Her dream and goal were set to a target- But there is one problem. An extremely powerful businessman just bought the shop of her dreams. And, that was a huge barrier for her because it would be hard for her to continue with her plan. Devon Alexander Enderson is an English businessman on the verge of taking over his father's empire. The board threatens that his bachelorette behaviour, sleeping around and scandals are unacceptable for such a high position, and so his hands are tied. The only way to prove them wrong is by getting married and having a stable life. The opportunity comes... well... crashes into his office when an angry Evelina comes demanding to have the shop back. But- "Marry me" the words trembled slowly and cautiously out of his mouth, wrapped in a heavy voice. Just two words, loud enough for me to hear and clear as crystal sent shivers up my spine, making me weak. I've always been a sucker for deep accents. My throat suddenly felt dry as I stood in the middle of his office, unable to get a word out of my lips as I carefully eyed his deep blue orbs. Credits to @-belllawrites for making me this gorgeous cover. Credits to @Coco_OT7 for editing the summary and the book.
